One thing to check with the older 2.13Ghz SSD models is that they were made post-May-2010. That's when the silent SSD update went into them, with the same Toshiba-controlled SSD that's currently in the MBP's (and similar in speed to the 2010 MBA SSD).

The difference is that the older (slower) SSD would ID itself as "APPLE SSD SM128" in Disk Utility. The newer one is ID's as "APPLE SSD TS128b".

1. She comes from money, if you know what I mean.
2. Wasn't stolen because I've seen her use it around school.
3. She's graduating, and about to make 100k w/ her PharmD., so a couple hundred bucks probably isn't her biggest concern.
